Sold my Harley to purchase a Storm a couple years ago, great bike , no regret's. Triumph accessaries are cheap, couldn't believe it. Tors pipe was under $400. dealer did the install and remap for free.

Got mine a couple of months back, cant't stop riding. its a beautiful mean monster.

I have the 2011 thunderbird storm . good looking bike . I think the biggest complaint about these bikes , the motors are very noisy hearing just about everything inside the motor seems to be not normal but apparently is with these bikes . Has now about 11000 miles on it , runs well .

Yeah, it's hard to ignore all that valve chatter, especially bouncing off the inside of the stock windscreen. 'Makes me always question its soundness.

Lol. That Harley analogy killed me.

Just a minute while I activate my 'iconic' filter.. OK, start again.. Yes, it's a vertical twin but the 270° crank effectively makes it a 90° vee twin..

Traded in a Sprint ST 1050 for one of these. I REALLY like it. :)

You are so cool...we've just heard about the Ace in Canada....and now you rate that classic cruiser there...gotta love Triumph.

My dream, I'll have one someday!

Beautiful bike, certainly a HD beater. Triumph is possibly my favourite bike manufacturer these days, Thruxton R looks incredible too

@@Peter-976 "Gold standard" lol, yeah the price. Ride a Triumph once and whatever else you own will be gone. And thats coming from an old diehard Harley guy.

I used to visit the Ace in the 1960's also the Busy Bee. My local café the Blinking Owl on the A127 at Raleigh.

Own a2011. T bird bought it new great bike abs like it so much buying it little brother. A 900legand 2000 model used tom don't forget triumph making bikes before Harley take. A trumpet any day before a Harley for dependability and ride. Cheaper to maintain good product

If you're concerned about quality, go to your nearest Triumph showroom and get up close with the T-bird. The fit and finish is incredible (as it should be at that price) and in my opinion out does my own 2011 Harley.

I love the comparison of Harleys to that pretty girl at school who never developed :) Got an SMT and actually thinking of getting one of these as a second bike, trying the rocket III too but think it will be too big sized for me...already tested the Hammer S which was lovely except for the tail bone ache after...

Try looking on the channel, there are a few more recent vids. One was only on our TV show last week!

Owned a Vulcan 1600.....great motor ...but a bit nasty built......liked relaxed motors ....cannot come at a harley ....too many reliability issues....the tbird with 270 degree motor sounds good with right pipes......

Triumphs make excellent bikes

Oooooouuuuuuuh! Luv it so much boy! But did you tell the price? Sorry if I did not heard it, I am German 👽

You're kidding right? Who the hell needs a gear indicator? You don't pick gear by speed, you pick by RPM. All you need is ears, not an indicator.

Marcus, you haven't lived until you have a gear indicator. They are just wonderful, if you are spacing out after a few tokes of the good stuff, it's nice to be able to look down at the dash, then wonder why you have looked down at the dash, then go, "oh yeah, I wonder what gear I'm in. Then you notice you're still in first, and you're going ten miles per hour. TEN MILES PER HOUR??!!. But it seems so much faster, how can that be? I recently had a gear senior moment. I had gotten up on the city expressway and been riding for 2 or 3 miles. When what to my surprise, a Harley goes by and has to give me the obligatory blast of the pipes. I don't like Harley riders much, which is understandable, I ride a BMW R1100R. So I pull back up on him and give him the evil squint, which causes him to let it rip. I grab a handful of velvety smooth throttle and glide past him like he's on a tractor. I get it up to around 110 mph, and the damn thing starts cutting out and running awful......what the fuck is going on, I slow down, then accelerate, seems ok. It's never missed a beat, being a mechanic I'm poring over potential problems, fuel pump, crank sensor, then I notice, the tachometer is bumping red-line. I go a little slack jawed, I'm only going a 100 or so, what could be the problem, is my clutch slipping, has the tire gone flat, then it occurs to me, maybe I have another gear to go..........CLICK, what a relief. I had neglected to engage top gear. It's easy to do if your motorcycle is smooth and quiet. Well, not easy, but possible.

Agree to disagree, I've had plenty of tokes and plenty of beers and I still see and hear RPMs, as well as see my speedo just fine. When you drive a stick shift, do you need a gear indicator for that too? It's just cheesy and juvenile looking on a bike.

I agree, to I would like to have a gear indicator on my '14 Storm, as 6th gear could certainly be a bit taller, I find myself attempting to switch an extra gear when I'm already there, haha.

He is weird who says word these days

Who needs this type off bike you can only cruise on it what's the big stupid engine for 1600 why its looks lumpy heavy not for the real world

needs to be a vtwin just looks like crap

Did you just compare a machine to some self-devised stereotype of a human? You should talk less and listen more.
